THE LISTING

So, here's the list of titles with which we're starting. I mentioned this at ulmlls, but if you're coming here blind the sources of these titles was Schwitters's presentation on this book of Paterson. He used these titles as notes to talk about part three. We're very much aware of their Sufjan Stevens-ness, thank you. By the way, the Paterson text we're using is the New Directions paperback, first published in 1995, I think. It's got the sepia-tone photo of the Passaic falls on the front, if you're looking for it.

Here they are:

The Language as a Virgin Purpose

The Murder of the Dutchman Jonafen Haring

The Incomplete Seduction of a Scholar and Clerk; or, "Here's My Key, Go Up and Help Yourself."

Virtue and the Death of the Grandmother

The Difficulties of Holding All Together in the Mind

The Haitian President / His Women

The Skeleton of Peter the Dwarf & [Draft 2]

The Memory of the River

Another Letter from A.G.

The Forgotten Paterson: A Tavern Song

Fred Goodell Jr. and the Murder of His Daughter (Culminating in Her Burial on Garrett Mountain)

The Circus and the Play of Candle Light

The Murder of John S. Van Winkle and His Wife by a Robber in the Winter of 1850

“What Have I Done?” A Claim and Question

The River Facing the Sea

The Man Facing Death

Seeds, or Ideas Spilled by the River Into the Sea

The Bitch and the Man from the Sea

The Trial, Conviction, and Execution of the Murderer John Johnson

The End (Oh, Passaic)
